Good but not Great

Rating: 5/10 (16 June 2002)

A sweeping spectacle with compelling moments, but some amateurish dialogue and clumsy direction detract. Worth watching, lots of stars, often not put to their best use. For example, compare John Wayne's awkward performance here with his superior work in the Pearl Harbor Naval film "In Harm's Way." I give this a 5 out of 10.
